Label-free detection techniques
Development of reliable, sensitive and high-throughput
label-free detection techniques has become imperative
for proteomic studies due to drawbacks associated
with label-based technologies. Label-free detection
methods, which monitor inherent properties of the
query molecule, promise to simplify bioassays.

Definitions of the components:
Part 1 – Overview of label-free techniques
1. Label-free detection: Label-free detection techniques monitor inherent properties of
the query molecules such as mass, optical and dielectric properties. Unlike label-based
detection methods, these techniques avoid any tagging of the query molecules thereby
preventing changes in structure and function. They do not involve laborious procedures
but have their own pitfalls such as sensitivity and specificity issues.
2. Surface plasmon resonance-based techniques
i) Surface plasmon resonance (SPR): Detects any change in refractive index of
material at the interface between metal surface and the ambient medium.
ii) Surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi): Image reflected by polarized light
at fixed angle detected.
iii) Nanohole array: Light transmission of specific wavelength enhanced by coupling
of surface plasmons on both sides of metal surface with periodic nanoholes.
3. Ellipsometry-based techniques
i) Ellipsometry: Change in polarization state of reflected light arising due to
changes in dielectric property or refractive index of surface material measured.
ii) Oblique incidence reflectivity difference (OI-RD): Variation of ellipsometry that
monitors harmonics of modulated photocurrents under nulling conditions.

4. Interference-based techniques: Interferometry is based on the principle of
transformation of phase differences of wave fronts into readily recordable intensity
fluctuations known as interference fringes. The various detection strategies that make
use of this principle include:
i) Spectral reflectance imaging biosensor (SRIB): Changes in optical index due
to capture of molecules on the array surface detected using optical wave interference.

Definitions of the components:
Part 1 – Overview of label-free techniques
ii) Biological compact disc (BioCD): Local interferometry i.e. transformation of
phase differences of wave fronts into observable interference fringes, used for detection
of protein capture.
iii) Arrayed imaging reflectometry (AIR): Destructive interference of polarized light
reflected from silicon substrate captured and used for detection.
5. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) -aptamer array: Aptamers are
short single-stranded oligonucleotides that are capable of binding to a wide range of
target biomolecules. EIS combined with aptamer arrays can offer a highly sensitive labelfree detection technique.
3
6. Atomic force microscopy (AFM): Vertical or horizontal deflections of cantilever
measured by high-resolution scanning probe microscope, thereby providing significant
information about surface features.
7. Enthalpy array: Thermodynamics and kinetics of molecular interactions measured in
small sample volumes without any need for immobilization or labelling of reactants.
4
8. Scanning Kelvin nanoprobe (SKN): A non-contact technique that does not require
specialized vacuum or fluid cell, SKN detects regional variations in surface potential
across the substrate of interest caused due to molecular interactions.
9. Microcantilever: These are thin, silicon-based, gold-coated surfaces that hang from a
solid support. Bending of cantilever due to surface adsorption is detected either
electrically by metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors or optically by changes in
angle of reflection.

Definitions of the components:
Part 2 – Surface plasmon resonance (SPR)
1. Flow cell system: A fluidic device that allows entry of antigens and
continuously removes unbound antigens from the system.
2. Free antigen: Antigens that have not bound to their complimentary antibody
are in their free state.
3. Bound antibodies: Test proteins such as antibodies that are capable of
specifically capturing the desired target protein with high affinity are
immobilized on to the gold-coated glass microarray slide.
3
4. Antigen-Antibody complex: The complex formed due to binding interaction
between the free antigen and its corresponding bound antibody.
5. Glass slide: The array surface most commonly used for SPR applications. It
is suitably coated with a metal film like gold or silver.
4
6. Gold film: A thin film of gold is used to coat the glass array surface due to its
favourable electronic interband transitions which fall in the visible range. In
most other metals, these transitions lie in the ultraviolet region, thereby making
them unsuitable for SPR.
7. Prism: The prism placed in contact with the glass slide surface helps in
reflecting the incident light from the surface.

8. Incident light: Light falling on the gold-coated array surface with its
immobilized antibodies has a particular wavelength and is known as the incident
light.
9. Reflected light: Some of the energy of the light incident on the array surface
gets absorbed for molecular transitions while the remaining light of lower energy
(and higher wavelength) gets reflected from the array surface at a specific angle.
10. Change in angle of reflection: Any changes in the angle of reflected light
are indicative of biomolecular binding interactions on the array surface. The
angle at which minimum intensity of reflected light is obtained is known as the
SPR angle and serves as a quantitative measure of biomolecules binding to the
array surface.

Audio Narration
SPR is a highly sensitive spectroscopic tool
that is increasingly being used for label-free
detection studies. Test proteins such as
antibodies are immobilized onto the goldcoated glass array surface. Incident light
striking the surface is constantly reflected at a
particular angle in this state.

as shown and change in reflection angle must
be shown followed by appearance of new pink

In the background, the green shapes must
continue to enter and leave the system if not
bound by the Y shaped objects.
Audio Narration
Binding of antigen to antibody immediately brings about a
change in the angle of reflection of light due to changes in the
refractive index of the medium. These changes can be
continuously monitored to characterize biomolecular interactions
in real-time. The SPR angle i.e. the angle at which minimum
intensity of reflected light is obtained is indicative of the amount
of biomolecule binding to the surface. The graph represents
change in reflection intensity before and after antigen binding.

biochip surface.
3. Gold-coated array surface: Similar to SPR, a gold-coated glass array surface or
sometimes a gold-coated hydrogel array are used as the biochip for immobilization of the
capture molecule of interest.

4. Immobilized antibodies: Test proteins such as antibodies that are capable of

This digital imaging technology is widely used for scientific and medical applications
where high quality image data is required.
7. SPRi image: Reflected light from a spot will reach a minimal value when the spot
meets the optimal SPR conditions, thereby resulting in a dark spot. In this way, the SPRi
image is formed for the multiple spots across the array surface.

Binding of target antigen to the antibody is detected in
real-time due to changes in intensity of reflected light
from every spot on the array surface. Multiple
biomolecular interactions can be studied
simultaneously in a HT manner and changes occurring

interactions.

Part 4 – Spectral reflectance imaging biosensor (SRIB)
1. Illumination: A tunable laser beam of a specific wavelength that has been made
spatially incoherent by passing the beam through spinning ground-glass disks is used to
illuminate the array surface immobilized with biomolecules.
2. Silicon surface: A silicon wafer having a thermally grown surface coating of silicon
oxide (SiO2) is used as the solid support for immobilization of biomolecules.
3. SiO2 coating: The thermally grown and polished SiO2 layer can be used as the
reflecting surface instead of conventional glass microscopic slides due to its superior
uniformity and smoothness. Reproducible functionalization of these surfaces is also easily
achievable due to the known chemical composition and surface chemistry.
4. Change in OPD: Light incident on the SiO2 surface gets reflected at a specific
wavelength, the magnitude of which depends on the optical path length difference (OPD)
between the top of the surface and the buried SiO2 -Si interface. Any binding of
biomolecules to the top surface results in a further increase in OPD which exhibits itself as
a characteristic shift in spectral reflectivity and as an intensity difference at a particular
wavelength.
5. CCD camera: : A charge-coupled device (CCD) camera continuously monitors any
changes that occur on the SiO2 array surface and is capable of providing high throughput,
real-time kinetic data. This digital imaging technology is widely used for scientific and
medical applications where high quality image data is required.

Audio Narration
A SiO2 coated Si surface is functionalized with the
biomolecule of interest. The magnitude of total
reflected light at a particular wavelength depends
entirely on the OPD between the top surface and the
SiO2-Si interface. Binding of the target to the
immobilized biomolecule further increases the OPD
and is seen as a shift in the spectral reflectivity. SRIB
therefore serves as a useful tool for HT, real-time
detection of biomolecular interactions.

Interactivity option 1:Step No: 1
SPR imaging has been used for serum proteomics studies to characterize the
antigens present in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (Lausted et al.,
2008). Antibodies specific to liver protein targets were arrayed on a gold-coated
surface and ten probed with human serum samples from HCC as well as non-HCC
patients. The authors detected 39 significant protein changes in this study, 10 of
which were already known including the commonly used liver cancer marker afetoprotein.
